Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • Great geniuses have the shortest biographies.

  • The search after the great men is the dream of youth, and the most serious occupation of manhood.

  • Great men or men of great gifts you shall easily find, but symmetrical men never.

  • We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body.

  • The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough.
